Just outfit an army of squirrels with air rifles.

Rifles are too big



Pistols are better

I suppose as fast as they run, pistols are a better choice. We already know they can be trained to water ski, so an attack from sea is emanate along from the air... Russia won't know what hit them...

Invading a sovereign country isn't cool either. Blah blah blah I know we have done it too. Doesn't make it right. I don't know what the "right" answer is at this point and have begun to suspect there may not be one.

The right answer was it is a European problem and if they wanted it solved they should get busy (and we would hold their coat)

He thinks of it as 'other people's money', so probably not

That's where his paycheck comes from.

if the vote doesn't do it, a strongly worded resolution from these clowns should.

5% of our defense budget is not even close to "bLeEdiNg uS dRy."

And preventing the rebirth of the Soviet Union is not a "whim."

If you equate geopolitical politics and defense spending with Nigerian prince scams and your personal checking account, that tells me all I need to know about your understanding of the matter.

Why are you so bad at math?

It's a lot more than 5% though. I posted it earlier but we average about $400B in defense funding per year. WE've sent a total of $113B in aid, $67B in military assistance. Military aid alone is about 17%, total aid 28% of our defense budget.

Not saying its right or wrong, but your numbers are off.

It is a lot more than 5%, defense budget is now something like $750B. Anyway, even if it were 5% of our defense budget, that's not a lot?

$113B is a lot of money. But as a fraction of defense spending, we're gonna use it for that?

I want Russia to lose this. They invaded a Sovereign nation. What is our responsibility in this? Zero. We have zero responsibility. But, I think it's fine that we help. But $113B? Aren't we done?

Well. I guess that explains it then.

Wait! WTF? You mean all they had to do all this time was to demand Russia withdraw? All those lost lives and US dollars. If they had just demanded Russia leave last year. All this would be over.

Without the willpower, men, and equipment... a demand means nothing.

And the 'other' side has to believe you'd use it.

if the vote doesn't do it, a strongly worded resolution from these clowns should.

Maybe a terse email.

But I'm sure it was a firmly worded demand!

$9B seals the deal.

$9B seals the deal.

I know. Inflation and all. But if no one took you up on $5B, who's gonna take you up on 9?

Cost savings is higher. I'm worth more now.
